- First my name is Jacalyn Michelle Mains (hence the JMM
) and I was named after the Charlie’s Angel Jaclyn Smith (my maiden name is Smith). On my birth certificate my Mom thought Jaclyn Smith spelled her name J-A-C-A-L-Y-N, so that’s how I got my unique spelling! - I almost always have a smile on my face and enjoy socialization to the fullest (which is why my job is so perfect for me….I get to talk, laugh, and have fun all day!).
- I see life through “rose colored glasses” and enjoy living that way as it is easier to see that glass half full.
- I always expect the best out of humanity.
- I LOVE to sing and dance.
- I heart make-up and all things colorful.
- I am married to an ever so supportive husband, Aaron and we have two glorious children together.
- I love positive people and choose only to surround myself with those that are.
- I am not afraid to speak my mind, but am nice enough to wait until asked to do so.
- As a 30th birthday present to myself (it was something I had been meaning to do for 10+ years) I got a full back tattoo of a Japanese cherry blossom tree to cover an ugly, non meaningful impulsive tattoo I got at the age of 18.
- I am Italian: so it probably goes without saying that I love wine and to eat.
- I only like to cook when it is Italian food (and it took me 5 years to master my Grandpa Fonte’s marinara sauce).
